Building a global ocean observing system for climate
Proceedings of OCEANS 2005 MTS/IEEE, 2005Observation is the key to describing, understanding, and predicting the Earth's climate system. The NOAA Office of Climate Observation (OCO) supports oceanic and marine meteorology projects designed to contribute to the implementation of a global climate observing system.

Acoustic thermometry of ocean climate and the global ocean observing system.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2011The uniqueness and sustainability of acoustic measurements of basin-scale temperature were demonstrated by the the Acoustic Thermometry of Ocean Climate and North Pacific Acoustic Laboratory programs in the North Pacific over the decade 1996–2006.

The Governance of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS)
2012The idea of developing Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) came up in the IOC in the late 1980s, but was also thoroughly discussed by WMO as the oceans play an important role in climate processes. This chapter focuses on endeavours to establish an appropriate governance structure, including in particular the international co-ordination of the system ...

The global ocean observing system (GOOS) in 1998
2002Publisher Summary This chapter describes the different aspects of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS). GOOS makes routine, systematic, long-term measurements of relevant ocean properties required to assess the present state of the ocean and its contents and to underpin accurate forecasts of changes in ocean conditions and in climate for the ...

Acoustic thermometry as a component of the global ocean observing system
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2012Acoustic data acquired during the 1995-2006 Acoustic Thermometry of Ocean Climate (ATOC) program were used to test the accuracy of ocean state estimates of the North Pacific obtained by various means: simple forward integration of a model, objective analysis of hydrographic and altimeter data, and data assimilation using general circulation models.

Global Ocean Observing Systems and the challenges of the 21st century
2003Abstract The 21st century has brought a strong recognition of the increasing vulnerability of society to environmental change and an understanding of human impact on the environment. Key to this recognition and understanding are measures or indicators of change and impact and education of the public about the issues.
